Strong gradients of association between childhood socioeconomic conditions and adult health have been consistently observed in a number of British, and other, populations at various stages within their life course,
with outcomes considered including all - cause mortality,
general health
measures and specific causes of mortality and morbidity.1 — 10 This study continues to provide clear evidence for association between childhood socioeconomic deprivation and adult
general health and mental well - being, even considered within a broad context of child well - being including other aspects of family background, health and development.
A review and recommendations for optimal
outcome measures of anxiety, depression and
general distress in studies evaluating psychosocial interventions for English - speaking adults
with heterogeneous cancer diagnoses
Contrary to the meta - analyses of Crits - Christoph5 andAnderson and Lambert, 7 studies of IPT werenot included (eg, Elkin et al30 and Wilfleyet al31), because the relation of IPT to STPPis controversial, and empirical results suggest that IPT is very close toCBT.9 Thus, this review includes only studiesfor which there is a
general agreement that they represent models of STPP.As it is questionable to aggregate the results of very different
outcome measuresthat refer to different areas of psychological functioning, we assessed theefficacy of STPP separately for target symptoms,
general psychiatric symptoms (ie, comorbid symptoms), and social functioning.32 Thisprocedure is analogous to the meta - analysis of Crits - Christoph.5 Asoutcome
measures of target problems, we included patient ratings of targetproblems and
measures referring to the symptoms that are specific to the patientgroup under study, eg,
measures of anxiety for studies investigating treatmentsof anxiety disorders.33 For the efficacy ofSTPP in
general psychiatric symptoms, broad
measures of psychiatric symptomssuch as the Symptom Checklist - 90 and specific
measures that do not refer specificallyto the disorder under study were included; eg, the Beck Depression Inventoryapplied in patients
with personality disorders.34, 35 Forthe assessment of social functioning, the Social Adjustment Scale and similarmeasures were included.36
